Simple perl script for crude sleep mode/low power mode and for adjusting backlight\n\nDesigned and tested for raspberry pi with official 7 inch touchdcreen. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## Install, update and uninstall:\n\n### To install:\n\n```\ncd ~/\nmkdir raspberrypi-backlight\ncd raspberrypi-backlight/\ngit clone https://github.com/WestleyK/pi-backlight.git\ncd pi-backlight/\nsudo ./make.sh install\n```\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n### Update:\n\nUpdating instructions comming soon!\n\n```\nnothing\n```\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n### To uninstall:\n\n```\nsudo rm

--help (print help menu)\n        [15-255] (adjust from: 15 to: 255)\n        -u | -up (brighter by: 25)\n        -d | -down (lower by: 25)\n        -s | -sleep (enter sleep mode, press \u003cENTER\u003e to exit this mode)\n        -c (print currnt brightness, scale:[15-255])\n        -n | -on (turns backlight on to: 200)\n        -i | -info (print script info)\n        -v | -version

\u003cbr\u003e\nWhere `XXX` is any whole number from `15` to `255`, for example: \u003cbr\u003e\n`$ pi-backlight 200` \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd of corse, sleep mode: \u003cbr\u003e\n`$ pi-backlight -s` \u003cbr\u003e\nSleep mode will turn off the display backlight until you push \\\u003cENTER\\\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nYou can also use the `-up` and `-down` option: \u003cbr\u003e\n`$ pi-backlight -u` Or: \u003cbr\u003e\n`$ pi-backlight -up` To adjust backlight highter, \u003cbr\u003e\nAnd to adjust backlight down: \u003cbr\u003e\n`$ pi-backlight -d` Or: \u003cbr\u003e\n`$ pi-backlight -down` To adjust backlight lower. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFeel free to modify this :) \u003cbr\u003e\nAny issues or feature request please
